This creature is From Beyond, sent to this plane of existence as a harbinger of the coming of the Gods Before Time. Semi-aquatic, it spawns thousands of fist-sized biting tadpole-horrors, which swarm the surrounding waterways. They retrieve parts of unlucky creatures and return them for genetic assimilation. The Beast can then give birth to seemingly-normal versions of the absorbed creatures. If the victim was an intelligent being, then the Beast forms pale likenesses and sends them out to get information and new genetic material. The Beast appears as a mound of armored flesh, with multiple pseudopods, eyes, and mouths. Instinct: to expand its influence
